Cristiano Ronaldo’s loyalty to Al-Nassr is set to be rewarded with a €400 million injection of new summer signings at the Saudi Pro League club, with Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior the headline name.
Ronaldo is close to signing a new contract with Al-Nassr that will see the Manchester United and Real Madrid legend commit his future to the club until 2027.

The deal is thought to be worth €400m but the Saudi club are preparing to invest that sum again simply to bring some of football’s biggest stars to the big-spending outfit, Fichajes reports.
Al-Nassr are set to take advantage of Vinicius Junior’s increasing rift with the Real Madrid board to land the Brazil international in what will be an earth-shaking move.
While there have been rumours of a bid worth around €300m, which would shatter the current world transfer record, it is simply claimed here that the initial offer will still be over €250m. This could well be enough to tempt Real Madrid into a sale given the lacklustre form of the left winger.
Nevertheless, signing such a player is never a formality, even with the Saudi club willing to offer Vini Jr what is described as “one of the highest contracts in world football” to leave European football while still at his peak.
Arsenal and Chelsea targeted
Another bid in excess of €100m is set to go in for Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo. The Blues are not considering selling the Ecuador star, hence this is thought to be a difficult deal to push through.
Similarly, Al-Nassr are ready to make a big-money offer for Arsenal centre-back Gabriel, whose contract at the Emirates Stadium winds down in 2027. It is claimed the club is already making moves behind the scenes to sign the 27-year-old, who will be offered a wage “much higher” than what’s on offer with the Gunners.

While Arsenal do not want to lose the Brazilian, any money used from a sale here could be funnelled towards keeping William Saliba, who continues to be linked with a move to Real Madrid.
With Vini Jr, Caicedo and Gabriel in their ranks along with Ronaldo, Al-Nassr are aiming to build a team able to compete with any side in the world.
